Faculty Development Day
Faculty Development Day is a semi-annual event sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs, allowing faculty to step away from their busy schedules, enhance their skills, and be students for the day. These events offer an opportunity to explore effective practices and provide faculty with concrete ideas they can incorporate into their teaching, research, and creative activities. It’s one way we continue to reinvest in our faculty’s success and provide resources to build community and enhance faculty life at New York Tech.

Spring 2026: The Power of Connection: How Meaningful Relationships Shape a Stronger CampusĀ
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Long Island Campus
This spring, we will celebrate the powerful role that human connection plays in student learning and success. When students feel known and supported by their instructors and campus community, they are more engaged in their coursework, more willing to seek help, and more likely to persist through challenges.
Isis Artze-Vega, Ed.D., will lead an interactive keynote on the multifaceted benefits, for both faculty and students, of relationships built on trust, including their impact on learning and well-being. She will suggest practical approaches to earning and maintaining trust across differences of identity and amid contemporary challenges.
